Extended data
The whole song of butterfly lovers is about 26 minutes. First, it narrates the love theme of butterfly lovers for five minutes, then the happy school life, and then the farewell to 18 Party. From eleven minutes to the second paragraph, Zhu Yingtai went home and refused to get married. Finally, he cried. The second paragraph is about the same length as the first paragraph, about eleven minutes. The last paragraph is to become a butterfly, which is the theme reappearance.
The tune begins with a few plucked strings, and then the flute sounds, such as the feeling of being in the clouds, to kick off the curtain. Just like overlooking the world from the sky, clearing away the clouds, the scene of the characters gradually becomes clear from the obscurity. First of all, the theme is played by the violin, with two long and two short lyrics and an ending sentence, which is long and weak, as if Zhu Yingtai were telling the past beside him. Then repeat the theme in the bass and return to earth.
The orchestra always plays the theme and fully understands it on the spot. Liang Shanbo, the representative of cello, also appeared. The two of them were affectionate, playing the big violin and singing the theme song.
